New direction

I started this blog because I wanted to write about my time in Newcastle. Unfortunately, the course was not my cup of tea and I decided to change direction. Two weeks ago I started a new course in York, at the university where I did my Erasmus exchange last year. I’m a ‘flexible learner’ there, because I already have an undergraduate degree and I didn’t want to do another undergraduate or postgraduate course. I'm doing some modules in film and media, because I want to gain more knowledge about these subjects. 


Re-arranging life has kept me busy, but so far everything is going smoothly. I’ve found a room in York and hope to find a new tenant for my room in Newcastle as soon as possible. Fingers crossed!

In the meantime, I’ve kept my eyes and ears open and noticed quite a few idiosyncrasies of the British culture. Fancy dress, beans on toast and tea with milk, why do Britons like it so much? I’ll investigate these quirks and keep you posted!
